bbPress "Submit" button not really visible

Published on December 22nd, 2013 by almightyeonni

Hello!
I’m currently setting up a bbPress forum on my WordPress website and I have one problem.
The “Submit” button is not recognizeable as “Submit” button because the colours are not strong enough.
Here is what it looks like:

If there is some sun shining on the computer screen, the “Submit” button can’t be seen at all. 🙁
So can someone please help me? I want to change the main colour of the button to slightly darker gray while the text in it saying “Submit” should be black.
How can I change the button colours?

(Please keep explanations easy. I don’t really know much about CSS and such.)

WordPress version: 3.8
bbPress version: 2.5.1

Create a Profil Url to the mainsite User-Profile

Published on December 22nd, 2013 by bffnb

Hi, i need some help!

I run my mainsite with frontend registration and frontend user profiles like: xxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

I also installed bbpress and ONLY ALLOW USERS TO REGISTER FROM THE MAINPAGE – mentioned above.
I show the Forum in a page wiht the shortcode… the forum url is: xxxxxxxxx.com/forum/
SO far it works great!

My setting for the forum user profile slug is like that:
xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername (“mitglied” is for “user” in german)

My Question 🙂
In the users FORUM PROFILE page i have on the left site under the users Profile the menu links. The first of them links to the users FORUM PROFILE like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/mitglied/anyusername

Now i need the same URL LINK to the users MAINSITE PROFILE wich should be like:

xxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername

IN …..bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-details.php it calls the url for the USERS FORUM PROFILE with this line of code:

<a class="url fn n" href="<?php bbp_user_profile_url(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( "%s's Profile", 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_displayed_user_field( 'display_name' ) ); ?>" rel="me"><?php _e( 'Profile', 'bbpress' ); ?></a>

How can i get the users MAINSITE PROFILE URL? (xxxxxxxxxxx.com/user/anyusername)
I cant find anything in the bbpress and wordpress docs 🙁 or im not intelligent enough to find a solution… i think to remove the slugs from the url is not possible to get a desired url structure for the link. I think there must be a other filter function for the users MAIN SITE PROFILE url…???

I think i must mention this:
I already managed to show the USERS AVATAR from the MAINSITE in the forum page with this code:

<?php $user_info = get_user_by('id', $wp_query->query_vars['author']); echo get_avatar($user_info->ID, '150'); ?>

The avatar call works great – hope it is possible to get the USERS PROFILE URL too 🙂

Thank you so much!

Bots hit urls posted in this forum

Published on December 22nd, 2013 by Robin W

From lots of recent posts, it seems like some bots are looking for any urls posted in topics on this site.

The urls are them hit hard for 24hours afterwards, giving denial of service and in some cases the webhosts taking the sites down to improve traffic on shared servers.

I have had this, and many posts are now mentioning this as an issue.

JJJ and SE – Suspect there’s nothing this site can do about it, but maybe a sticky to advise posters might help. Something along the lines of :

WARNING – Please be careful if you post the url of your website on this forum

Bots are creating traffic to urls posted on this site, which can result in denial of service. If you need to post your url (and in many cases this helps considerably in fixing the issue) if your site is say www.mysite.com please post as follows :

‘my url is www.mysite.not – just replace the not with com ‘
or
‘my site is www.mysite.not – just replace the not with com’

Recent Topic Image Blurry

Published on December 21st, 2013 by Subtopic

Hey guys. I am messing around with implementing Local Simple Avatars, and BBPress, and I have an issue. My Recent Topics widget, the picture of the user who recently posted something, that image is blurry.

I have edited the code in firebug, and even when I expand the image, its still blurry.

Removing BBPress breaks my Genesis site

Published on December 21st, 2013 by Kevin Geary

When I remove BBPress, my home page, my blog page (mostly the sidebars) all break and disappear. What’s the problem here? Those pages and sidebars have nothing to do with BBPress.

Bad Post# Next to Time Stamps

Published on December 21st, 2013 by luskyj89

Hi guys.

I’ve encountered a strange issue that I’ve searched and searched for a solution to but haven’t been able to come up with anything. The post number next to the time stamps on every post are weirdly off. The count goes up sometimes by 10 or even 100 out of no where. So now even though there are only 170 legitimate posts on the forum, the post count reads something like #580 when we create new posts. You can see it happening in this thread: http://multitoad.com/forums/topic/cross-platform-gaming/

The post # goes from 273 to 282. Then it goes from 282 to 410. This can’t be correct given the total number of posts being 170. I’ve tried using the recalculating and recounting tools, but to no avail.

WP version: 3.7.1
BBP version: 2.5.1

I’m using a theme, but this issue existed when I was using TwentyTwelve as well. Any help is much appreciated.

Problem with uploading multiple files

Published on December 21st, 2013 by yc1111

I am using WordPress 3.8 and bbpress 2.5.1. I am also using GD bbpress attachment version 2.0 for attachments.

The problem I am experiencing is that whenever I click “add another file”, the page simply reloads but not allowing me to upload another file.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eugene

Forum Themes?

Published on December 20th, 2013 by Owen Bick

Hi, everyone!
I need a theme for my bbPress forum. I only want to change the theme for the forum, not the site. The site should look the same. I don’t know much CSS so I can’t change the style of the forum. I want the forum to look like http://forum.arvixe.com/smf/

Here’s my site: http://www.covalty.com

Thanks 😀
